Katie Unit 4 Katie's Unit III [[file:10:27 Notes.pages]] Where are we today and how close is it to revolution?
Why have people decided to Occupy Wall Street, and other financial areas in major cities the world over?
They wanted to be part of the world, because they see that our politicians don’t represent them any more, and they had no voice in the society. Big companies have so much influence over the government, and this would continue until the people stand up and beg for justice. They have complaint in taxes, insurances, and more. They believe if they have a voice to this, they can fix it.
Who might oppose those who are occupying Wall Street or demonstrating? Why are they opposing them?
The government, and the company people, because these people are gathering up, talking about the taxes, and other influences that government and companies make. If this gets bigger, companies would have less influence in the government, and government might loose some of its power. Katie's Port 3
DIPLOMACY is the art of talking and negotiating without having to resort to conflict. On pg. 60, there is a discussion on how Chinese diplomacy was different than later European diplomacy. Explain this difference.
Explain how Zhu Di strived to make Beijing the world's INTELLECTUAL capital.
He expelled the last Mongols from China in 1382, Zhu Di had despatched his eunuch Isiha to the perennially troublesome region of Manchuria in the far north-east, and in 1413 the Jurchen people of Manchuria responded by sending a prestigious mission to Beijing, where its members were showered with titles, gifts, and trading rights.
Zheng He's fleet made 7 voyages in all, dying on his last one, in 1433. When his ships returned to China, the political situation had changed dramatically. In fact, soon after the great Treasure Fleet left Tanggu, Zhu Di suffered a series of disasters that suggested to everyone that he had lost the "mandate of heaven" -- the approval of Heaven for his rulership.
When you get to p. 75, read to the bottom of p. 77. Stop at the paragraph beginning "Thereafter the Qazi..." Is there evidence here that Zhu Di truly did not understand what was happening to his rule? Zhu Di did not understand what was going on because he was poisoned, and he hit his head when he fell off the horse. Many head damages.
Start up again on the bottom of p. 78 (from "Apparently abandoned by heaven..."). List all the things that happened to the old emperor near the end of his life. He was.. -abandoned by heaven -humiliated -ill and distraught -mounting political problems
Finally read the edict of the new emperor, Zhu Di's son, Zhu Gaozhi, on the very day he ascended the throne, pp 81-85, beginning "All voyages of the treasure ships are to be stopped." Explain how this edict changed the history of not only China but of the WORLD. How did this leave open the "door" for Europe to take center stage now? Zhu Gaozhi banned abroad expeditions, which caused China closed the door to maritime activity and technology. All ships moored at Taicang are ordered back to Nanjing and all goods on the ships are to be turned over to the Department of Internal Affairs and stored. As China lost their communication, Europe had a chance to take center stage now.
The Ottomans made non-Muslims to pay taxes, but to not serve in the army.
What were Suleyman's major accomplishments?
Suleyman brought the Ottoman Empire to its greatest size and most impressive achievements. He also conquered parts of southeastern Europe by 1525.
Despite their brilliant rule, what critical mistake did Suleiman and Shah Abbas make?
They killed many talented sons, just because they thought they would seize power from them.
What evidence of cultural blending can you find in Akbar's rule?
Akbar was muslim. He believed strongly that people should be able to choose their own religion. Both Hindus and Muslims gained jobs as government workers.
How did Akbar's successors contribute to the end of the Mughal Empire?
He changed the laws of taxing , and built beautiful buildings such as Taj Mahal, and he ruled for 50 years. They also only taxed Hindus, not Muslims, which made them angry.
What were the CAUSES of the Scientific Revolution? Which one do you think is MOST significant AND WHY?- Discovery of the New World
Invention of the Printing Press
Rivalry among Nation-States
Reformation
Renaissance Humanism
I think the most significant was the invention of the Printing Press because, more ideas and information traveled faster and further with paper copies, such as books.
Why might those in positions of authority at the time (Church and government) tend to reject new ideas?- They reject new ideas because they were against church authority and teaching, and if people believed the church could be wrong about this, then they could start questioning other teachings as well.
Do you agree with Galileo's actions during his trial? Explain.- I agree with Galileo's actions during his trial because, I think it is right to correct false statements made by high positions in the society. The fact that he tried correcting false ideas, although he was under the threat of torture, his words that try fixing the society correctly is a right thing to do.
Make a list of the major figures of this revolution in thinking and what they did.Copernicus - publishes heliocentric theory
Marie de Coste Blanche - published The Nature of the Sun and Earth.
Janssen - invents microscope
Kepler - published first 2 laws of planetary motion
Galileo - published Starry Messenger.
Bacon's book - Novum Organum encourages experimental method.
Explain the significance of these terms:
Geocentric Theory- Earth centered view of the universe.
Heliocentric Theory- Why the planets orbited the way they did.
Scientific Revolution- Replacement of old assumptions with new theories.
Scientific method- New approach to science.
Key Term 3 (Paragraph)
The Renaissance contributed to the opening of the mind in Europe because, it advanced/ and affected literature, philosophy, art, politics, science, religion, and other aspects of Europeans. Renaissance was an advancement, a new beginning back in the days. So, aspects/ viewpoints of Europeans started to change. For example, Lorenzo Valla, and Erasmus started a protestant, questioning about catholic powers, and because of them, catholic churches lost their big powers in the society. The Renaissance authors also increasingly used native languages more, so when they print books, especially the bible, more people would be able to read it. The fact that Lorenzo and Erasmus started a protestant and questioned catholic church’s power, it opened up minds of Europeans to think the same, whether or not they have too much power. Same with the native languages, when Renaissance authors increasingly used native languages more, more people were able to read books, such as bible. These examples show how historians opened up minds of Europeans, and changed the evolution. Historians questioned facts, which opened up minds of Europeans to see different aspects/ perspectives. These changes has been a great impact in the Renaissance.

Vocabulary heretical: a person who maintains beliefs contrary tothe established teachings of the Church faggot: a bundle of sticks Eucharist: the sacrament of Holy Communion abstain: to hold oneself back voluntarily penance: a punishment undergone in token of penitence for sin beseeching: to beg eagerly source: any thing orplace from which something origins
In section 1, Heretical Beliefs, the historian gives his account of a historical event. What is happening to Hogsflesh? What is the historian's “story” or main point of the article?-He was to join in the religious procession at Chichester Cathedral, still carrying the faggot, to complete his penance.
What are the roles of a historian defined by John Arnold? Do you agree or disagree with his assumptions? Can you think of any other roles?-A historian plays a interpreter, and I agree to this because historians simply arrange a report of events into a chronological order, and providing no further comment or discussion, and they interpret ideas.
What is meant by “treat(ing) their sources with fidelity?” Remember to put your response in your own words. Why is it important to remember this when reading historical references?-not sure.
How can a single event be interpreted in more than one way? Can you think of an event in your life that historians could interpret with differing points of view?-Historians interpret a single event in many ways, by interpreting it through various histories. Maybe cellphone payment is seen differently to the historians. For example, we see cellphones as the best communication system, although we pay a big price every month, but the historians might see this as a waste of money, and laziness.
Talk to a family member or friend about something that happened to you both a long time ago. Examine how you both remember the incident and write about it. With that in mind, when attaching meaning to history, is it possible for a historian to be completely objective? Use examples from the incident you just discussed to reinforce your response.-Few years ago, I went to Ocean City, and I got carried away by the waves. It wasn't a very good experience for me then. My mom remembers it as, I was swimming too far, that I couldn't come back to the shore. Looking at this, I think it is impossible for a historian to be completely objective.
What problems may arise when historians practice subjective history? In what ways may subjective history be beneficial to the study of history? Think back to the incident you just discussed with your family member or friend. Why did it make sense for you to remember the event the way you did and for the other person to remember it the way he or she did? What does this tell us about history?-It would be more difficult/and different, because the opinions and the ideas of the historians would come out less. It made more sense for me to remember the event the way I knew it, because I remember it how I felt and saw. This tells us that history might not be exactly true, it might just be a historian's view point.
Why is every historian "a storyteller?" If all historians are storytellers and there are myriad versions of every story, can we trust historians? Why or why not?-Every historian is a storyteller because they are telling events/and stories that they went through or saw during their era, and they are passing down histories from ancestors down on. I don't think we can TRUST historians, because it's only how they saw the event, not exactly what it was.
How did your view of history and historians change based on this reading? How will you approach history now that you have explored these views?-I normally thought that history was always correct, and we must follow what's said, but now I know it might not be true by the view points of different historians. I will explore history in my view point as well, as the historians from now on.
Our Group:Yugin ChungEsther KimKatie KimSabin Kim Q. What is culture?A. Blending of history, traditions, beliefs, or ideas that shapes a country's lifestyle.
HW. 08/12/2011Q. Why is an understanding of culture necessary in order to understand history?A. The understanding of culture is necessary in order to understand history because I think that history is made from different cultures. For example, American's style of music culture, may have made the history of the Beatles, or even Elvis Presley. Cultures in various countries are increasing, as more history are made. So, by understanding the culture of a country, may help learn about their history, or how their history was made. I believe that all histories are created by different cultures, and lifestyle of each individual. Although history might be the study of past events, I think the past events are created by cultures. Another example is how in the late days, America was a slave state. By meaning, their culture/lifestyle made african americans work as slaves. Abraham Lincoln fixing that problem, was a change in americans' lifestyle. When lifestyles/cultures are being changed, history is changing as well i believe.
